1. Introduction -- 2. Always Coming Home and the Hinge in Ursula K. Le Guin’s Career -- 3. Making Narrative Connections with Ursula K. Le Guin, Rosi Braidotti and Teresa de Lauretis -- 4. Utopias Unrealizable and Ambiguous: Plato, Leo Strauss, and The Dispossessed -- 5. Many Voices in the Household: Indigeneity and Utopia in Le Guin's Ekumen -- 6. The Language of the Dusk: Anthropocentrism, Time, and Decoloniality in the Work of Ursula K. Le Guin -- 7. The Dream of Power and the Power of Dreams: Ursula K. Le Guin and the X-Men -- 8. Ursula K. Le Guin, Thinking in SF Mode.

This excellent volume is devoted to Le Guin’s ongoing critical reception. It presents a fine mix of international contributors that culminates in a masterful article from Isabelle Stengers. Here Stengers does for Le Guin what she famously did for the British philosopher Alfred North Whitehead: she shows how to ‘think with’ this author, how to ‘think in SF mode’ while engaging the intellectual investments that animate Le Guin’s fiction. The other authors in the volume rise to the occasion of the brilliance that concludes it.” —Bruce Clarke, Paul Whitfield Horn Distinguished Professor of Literature and Science, Department of English, Texas Tech University The Legacies of Ursula K. Le Guin explores how Le Guin’s fiction and essays have built a speculative ethical practice engaging indigenous knowledge and feminism, while crafting utopias in which human and other-than-human life forms enter into new relations. Her work also delineates new ways of making sense of the “science” of science fiction. The authors of this collection provide up-to-date discussions of well-known works as well as more experimental writings. Written in an accessible style, Legacies will appeal to any readers interested in literature, science fiction and fantasy, as well as specialists of science and technology studies, philosophy of science, ethics, gender studies, indigenous studies and posthumanism. Christopher L. Robinson is Assistant Professor of English at the École Polytechnique, IP-Paris, France. After completing his dissertation on Ursula K. Le Guin, he went on to publish numerous articles in gender and genre studies. His current research focuses on the intersections of literature, art and the sciences. Sarah Bouttier is Assistant Professor of English at Ecole Polytechnique, IP-Paris, France. She has widely published on the nonhuman/posthuman in literature, ecopoetics, modernist literature and contemporary poetry. Pierre-Louis Patoine is Assistant Professor of American literature at Sorbonne Nouvelle University, France. He is co-director of the Science/Literature research group (litorg.hypotheses.org) and co-editor of the journal epistemocritique.org. He has published a monograph on the role of the empathic, physiological body in the experience of reading (Corps/texte 2015).
